Having an issue involving running two xbox one's on the same LAN, whereby one xbox is issued an open NAT and the other is restricted to Strict, UPNP is enabled within the router and I've tried port triggering, DMZ, the works, but Open NAT is never possible on both.

I'm running off the Virgin SuperHub 2 and am wondering if anyone's got a fix for this?
Thanks,
Dan
 
Yes not all router can handle multiple consoles with open NATs.

It appears that most router manufacturers have poorly implemented UPnP that can't handle more than on Xbox.

Also some routers can't even handle the demonware port mapping that Activision games use meaning they can have Nat problems while Xbox dashboard shows open.

Unfortunately there is no way to get round this if your routers UPnP is to blame as you can't use port forwarding for multiple Xboxes.

Unfortunately an IPv6 connection is not solving the problem but can make it even worse. There are routers which are unable to serve two consoles by UPnp simultaneously. There is a list with routers in the network hardware section of this forum: forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx where you can check for your router.

Please keep in mind, that it is not possible to configure portforwardings or DMZ while using more than one Xbox in the same network, whether it's an Xbox One or a 360. It's also not possible to play on two One with the same gamertag at the same time.
